jamiek Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I didn't email to ask because I didn't want to bug them. Maggie19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkelephant Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 As of this week they were still reviewing files. They will likely need to decide what to do about interviews as they likely will not have in-person interviews (summer courses have moved to online and there will not be in-person courses until at least the fall). Dal medicine decisions are delayed until April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what they're going to do for the interview ... still have in-person interviews (doubtful at this point), CASPER, video interview or nothing (evaluate what they already have)?

I know someone who received an email this week requesting something. It would be pretty easy for them to switch to video interviews since they already do panel interviews ... but who knows. Doesn't CASPer take a few weeks to score? A personal statement or something sounds like a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A personal statement or something sounds like a good option. Is it a bad sign if they didn't ask me for a syllabus for one of the prereqs (Francophone university and used two courses to meet one of the prerequisites with permission from Jo-Anne)? Haha I'm kinda stressing out about this Personal statement would be a good option. Video interview sounds pretty awkward lol and I'm not sure how long it takes to score CASPer. I just know that that's what some medical schools are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you received permission from Jo-Anne then it's probably equivalent (otherwise she would request a syllabus before providing permission). Dalhousie has most other university's courses listed in their online Transfer Credit Equivalency Table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my first time applying do I really didn't (still don't) know what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrekfiona12 Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Do you think Dal will still require references for people who get interview invites? It would be pretty short notice if interviewees had to have references submitted around the same time as the interviews, especially given the COVID-19 circumstances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiek Posted March 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 It probably won't be a bad time to ask for references since people are at home and probably bored out of their minds. But i'm sure admissions will take all things into consideration. All in all the interview invites aren't even out yet, worry about references later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco beans Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 “ I have gone through all the files. If anything was missing that I required, you would have received an email from me.” This was from Jo-Anne. Do you guys think we will be hearing about invites soon?

It looks like it will be a little while yet according to last night's applicant update email . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think that there would be an accompanying email if it were a rejection. I still haven't heard anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't heard anything. I confirmed that it does not mean a rejection someone mentioned that it could be that they change the status to Decision Made after they review your file.
